The Yongkou Sluice of Nancun Commune is a cultural heritage site protected by Panyu District.

The Yongkou Sluice of Nancun Commune is located at the entrance of Yongkou Natural Village, Shitou Village, Nancun Town, dating back to the 1950s.

The sluice guards the main river outlet of Nancun Town and plays a regulatory role in the town’s entire network of rivers and canals. Since its construction, it continues to regulate water flow and protect farmland and villages, making it one of the better-preserved hydraulic facilities in the area.

On November 8, 2010, the Office of the People's Government of Panyu District announced the Yongkou Sluice of Nancun Commune as part of the first batch of cultural heritage sites protected by Panyu District.
